Up-at-dawn runners and conditioned-for-pain triathletes, we want you to have peace of mind while you run, ride or swim. So leave your phone at home. This watch has got your back.

Carry more on your wrist without the extra bulk or added weight. Fly past the competition with this lightweight, sporty smartwatch. From open water swims to long training rides, this watch is up to the challenge. Its high-performance silicone band and durable Corning Gorilla Glass DX lens can handle just about anything.

With Smart Notifications, receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch, when paired with a compatible smartphone. This LTE-connected smartwatch links you in fun ways to your family and friends and also provides peace of mind while you’re out doing your sport. Automatically send race updates to family and friends, without lifting a finger. While you’re powering through, they can stay up to date with your pace, miles completed and more. Use LiveTrack to let friends and family follow your real-time location and even view your entire preplanned course. Rest assured that your loved ones know exactly where you’re running or riding. You can also get midrace motivation with audio and text messages from your family and friends. You can even download your playlists from select music streaming services right to your watch. The Garmin Forerunner 945 LTE can store up to 1,000 songs.

Take safety seriously. If you feel unsafe or if your watch senses that an incident occurred, the Forerunner 945 can send a message to your emergency contacts with your location information. This watch can also automatically send your name and location to the Garmin IERCC, a 24/7 staffed professional emergency response coordination centre that can contact and coordinate with emergency services or others to provide assistance.

Switch up your workouts with activity profiles for cycling, triathlon, pool and open-water swimming, track running and more. For races and brick workouts, switch sports with a single button press. For training guidance that takes you and your fitness level into account, get daily run and ride recommendations based on your current training load and training status. After each workout, the built-in recovery time advisor lets you know how long to rest before another big effort. It even accounts for all-day stress, sleep and daily activities outside of workouts. See how your workouts influence the development of endurance, speed and power with aerobic and anaerobic Training Effect feedback.
